On Samsø I was on field recording trips with various microphones, including a geophone and hydrophone, which amplify sounds that are normally beyond the range of human hearing. I listened to circulations in sound habitats created by non-human creatures and humans: water dripping in a well at Agerupgård, vibrations in wind turbines at Tanderup Mark that change gear according to the strength of the wind, and the munching of beach snails in algae forest at Stavns Fjord. The sounds habitats were originally composed in a quadrophony and later released on the CD Terraform - i Knud Viktors Lydspor.

The recordings and composition were made during a residency program at Terraform togher with Sound Art Lab as part of the program Put Your Ears to the Ground.
